Mintage Restaurants
A website for a restaurant group with four locations in Sri Lanka, built around booking a table, ordering food and finding the right branch.
Mintage serves bold Asian flavours at four restaurants in Borella, Kotte, Galle and Marawila. The website had to capture the atmosphere of an evening there and make the practical things (booking, menus, directions and ordering) quick for every branch.
The challenge
Four locations means four menus, addresses and phone numbers. Most visitors arrive with one goal, to book, order or check a menu, and need to reach it for the right branch without digging.
Designing for the people who use it
- 01Diners planning a meal, a celebration or a night out
- 02Customers ordering through UberEats, PickMe or takeaway
- 03Groups and companies looking for private events

Page structure
The homepage is planned as a sequence of sections, each answering the next question a visitor has. Below is that structure as a low-fidelity wireframe, with the site’s main navigation.
Colour, type and components
